Description: [moh-tsa-REL-la di
BU-fah-lah] This delicate, porcelain-white, unripened cheese is
produced from the milk of water buffalos, which live in the wet lowland of
Campania region, the countryside area around Naples. The regions known to
produce Mozzarella di Bufala in Southern Italy include Caserta, Salerno
provinces, Benevento, Naples, Frosinone, Latina, and Rome, with
approximately 77% or 850 of the Italian buffalo farmers located in
Campania. Most of the fresh mozzarella sold all over the world, even in
Italy, is made from cows’ milk. That type of mozzarella has less moisture,
is consequently more firm, and it is extremely mild. Mozzarella di Bufala,
on the other hand, is immensely flavorful, rich in butterfat and very
satisfying. |
